Well played polite vampires! Otherwise you could have been subject to this rebuff!

Soulless ✅

Blood sucking parasite ✅

Vampires are just social media for the 1700s
- Also, unable to do any self-reflection
- Describes the right wing propaganda machine too.
- Knows all your private information ✅
- Vampires are capitalism!
  
  This but unironically. I've always viewed them as manifestation fear of nobles/oligarchs. I've seen people compare zombies to things like over consumption and consumerism which I'm less convinced by.

This is just stolen from a Terry Prachett Novel.
- And I would have not read it if it was not "stolen".
  
  Then credit the author. That way people who enjoy it can know where it came from and may wind up reading his books.
  So, yes. It was "stolen" as in plagiarized, since it does not provide appropriate credit.
- Which one? I've been meaning to give his stuff a shot. Something like this sounds like a fun place to start
  
  Carpe Jugulum has vampires who 'reform' and integrate into society (but I won't spoil anything else)
  
  Reading order
  I'd start with either The Watch, or The Witches. Both are great, I'd avoid The Unseen University initially, his writing gets significantly better so the early books are harder to read.
  
  The Watch subseries mentions vampires quite a lot, and is a really good read. IIRC, the fifth elephant and thud! Have them as more than just ‘extras’ and names mentioned.
  While you can pick up most any discworld book as a first one, and have a good time, a lot of people recommend reading at least the sub series in order, the watch series starts with Guards! Guards! And is really enjoyable all the way through, and a great place to start your discworld journey.
  
  I think it might be https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Truth_(novel)
  It was somerhing with the https://wiki.lspace.org/Ankh-Morpork_League_of_Temperance
- It was also stolen (referencing?) Tomska's Let Me In sketch
- I see Terry Pratchett, I upvote! GNU
- Come on man. Bury the hatchet, with Terry Pratchet.
- Its not really stolen from Discworld. I mean I could argue it was "stolen" from Myth-adventures as much as it was "stolen" from Discworld.
  Pratchett takes the piss on a lot of 'norms'.
  Yes there is a vampire temperance league and there is a side character who is a vampire who talks like that, but it's just background pretty much.

Don't let them in! It's a trick!

Nah I'm in if ageless isn't false too.
Just not immortal, 'cuz the Sun sure isn't.
- But the sun hurts vampires, wouldn't they be happier without it? At least until everything else dies and they starve.
  
  Hahahaha jokes on everyone else, the sun already burns my when I step outside.
  
  Happy little popsicles
  
  That's what he meant there will be a sun death and it would be horrifying to still be forced to be alive
- you wanna be here forever?
  
  Certainly not, but at least as long as humans are still around.
